An extended version of the natural history section of the author's work: Compendio della storia geografica, naturale, e civile del regno del Chile. Bologna, 1776 (published anonymously)
Text in Italian; diagnoses of taxa of animals, plants and minerals in Latin
Work published in October 1782 (after Oct. 11), according to Stafleu & Cowan; imprimatur (p. [1] at end) dated 12 Oct. 1781
Title vignette, with motto: Nihil mihi
Signatures: A-Z (A8 verso blank). Some direction lines include the designation: "Tom. I.". This is very likely an indication of the anticipation of a second volume; that volume, however, was issued as an independent companion volume, under the title: Saggio sulla storia civile del Chile. Bologna, 1787, by the same publisher as the present work, Stamperìa di S. Tommaso d' Aquino
Page 323 misnumb.: "223"

Errata (p. [1] at end)
Text divided into four books: "Libro I. Situazione, meteore, e temperamento del Chili." (p. 17-52); "Libro II. Acque, terre, pietre, sali, bitumi, e metalli del Chili." (p. 53-120); "Libro III. Erbe, arboscelli, ed alberi del Chili." (p. 121-195); "Libro IV. Vermi, insetti, rettili, pesci, uccelli, e quadrupedi del Chili (p. 197-367)
